Patrick (H) Willems Reacts To His Top 1000 Comments On YouTube | Ars Technica

I’m glad you accepted the fact we all subscribed for your dad and stayed for your mom.

I’m super excited to see Jake execute his plot to take out Charl. Oh how I hate that coconut! 😂

[@bv310]

I'm fully expecting the Jaker plan to fail, and then Pat's Mom will accidentally make a Charl Colada.

[@turtlezinthesky]

@@bv310 ahem, I think you mean a Piña Charlada

[@starshipmechanic]

the thing about Charl is even if you hate Charl, he's like Joffrey, you love to hate him. I'll miss the Charl story arc when it's over.

[@bibliophilecb]

How DARE you. Charl is our coconut overlord and he shall be treated with RESPECT 😤

[@JanRademan]

You bought the plushy, didn't you?

[@benwasserman8223]

Somehow we’re all invested in the story of Patrick’s obliviousness towards his maybe-demonic coconut co-star, and I love it.

[@mortalspiral]

I only found the Patrick Willems channel a few weeks ago but I'm loving watching the back catalogue.

[@lemadfab]

Patrick’s universe is so great and clever and silly.

[@bhouse2213]

7/10 interview. Needed more Charl.

[@LargelyNonsense_818]

Oh my God. Is that THE Charl? Swoon.

[@brighdaylen]

One of the hardest working KZbinrs. He deserves so much success.

[@MartinThmpsn]

Watching him try to explain Charl is great.

[@bookshelfhoney]

I wonder if in the alternate world where charl is just a rock with googly eyes if he took off and is as popular or if rock charl flopped, also maybe his name is different

[@KeyTryer]

Damn it's impossible to start a video with this guy and not end up watching the whole thing because he's so good at talking and explaining things.

[@EdKauffmann]

legit thought Patrick was wearing a Captain Kirk uniform for a split second

Thanks for calling out your viewers on how much more that we love your parents over you! I thank you not turning them into the Fonz.

That is so true, we do LOVE HIS PARENTS MORE THAN WE LOVE PATRICK! But it’s a lot because we really LOVE Patrick a whole lot!

[@lialogia]

[@PirateDuzzo]

Great video! Always good to see more Patrick. Now to find out what Ars Technica is.

[@natbarmore]

Glad to see you getting noticed. Your analysis and commentary on films is really insightful, some of the best out there. And I love how you use your filmmaking skills to make that commentary more enjoyable to watch. Not sold on the "sideplots" (like Charl and being a distant and abusive boss), but I'm glad you're enjoying doing that so if it means you enjoy your work and keep giving us interesting insightful commentary, ok.

[@basileldho9846]

Even here they overlooked Blue Flames Special, which is the actual best series by Patrick.

[@spinakker14]

to Arch Technica's credit, they also put way much more effort into this video than was necessary. Partick goes through 3 costume changes with completely different sets. I think it took a day to shoot this. Well done!

[@AdamLanceGarcia]

About 8 hours.

[@whodatninja439]

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one! I love Patrick, he's so funny and knowledgeable! And 2020 was his best year creatively.

[@SupaCoopaStudios]

Do Patrick’s parents have their own subreddit?

[@makecowsnotwar]

Aww. He didn’t respond to my essay length comment as to why he was wrong about Mamma Mia and it’s sequel. Damn.

[@ericlytle2209]

One of the last people I expected on here good lord I love it

[@santos8468]

Charl is an appropriate name because he's basically Chucky. Everyone thinks that the protagonist is crazy because he's talking to an inanimate object as if it were a real person only for it to be revealed that the object is truly alive...and evil.

[@johntrek187]

Patrick love your channel. Been following for years. Keep mixing it up. Really appreciate when you talk about a certain spin on films.

[@robertwild9447]

"It's ubrelvy" Like damn so many times

[@santos8468]

I only recently realized that the "h" is a joke. Patrick is trying to copyright his first name and you have the announcer unnecessarily saying the "h".

[@juliadandy6019]

Wait, what? 🤯

[@santos8468]

Ok, my theory may not completely track. Where the "h" is placed on the title cards suggests a trademark symbol. However, "h" is not an actual trademark sign.

[@JoeFF85]

I thought it was because there was already a Patrick Willems in the Screen Actors Guild so Patrick (H) goes by Patrick (H) to differentiate himself from the pre-existing Patrick Willems? I could very well be wrong, but that's often why actors go by a screen name, isn't it?

[@santos8468]

@@JoeFF85 I don't know if that's true, but it makes a hell of a lot more sense than what I said.

That’s just his regular Saturday nights. He pours himself a conhaque, gets a Cuban cigar that he doesn’t actually light up and watches the views.

[@revolt81]

I swear I saw Charl in a video by a different youtuber...

[@94evangelion]

Patrick, I always wondered why you have resisted doing a Zack Snyder video until now. Is it the toxic fanbase? because Snyder himself does not condone the behavior of those toxic fans. Is it because your notion of what these superheroes should be clashes with what Snyder envisions? I don't quite understand the mixed feelings because in spite of his movies, he has not really attracted any scandalous controversy like Whedon. By all accounts, he seems like a decent guy to work with, and also seems to respect cast & crew.
